Text of Speech

My name is Amanda B; I’m a freshman here at my high school of the year 2010-2014! I don’t really like school very much, except for the part where I get to hangout with my friends, but I still find myself once again in school for another 8 years. A few things you should know about are that I love Justin Bieber, I’ve never had a hot pocket, I hate fish with a passion, I’ve never been on an airplane before, and I also love Eminem, Lil’ Wayne, Pokemon, Digimon, Kingdom Hearts, Zelda, Halo, and just about any other video game.

I have various goals for my freshmen year and beyond. Some of my goals are, to maintain at least a “B” average in all my classes; I want to learn all about computers and all that technical stuff in Education in the Digital Arts. Another goal that I have is to be able to speak, read, write, and actually understand Spanish. I also want to actually survive and participate in the pig dissection in my biology class with Mr. Duston. After high school I’d like to go to University of California Los Angeles and go to University of Washington.

Next I’d like to talk to you about my family and the goals and plans I want to accomplish with them in the present and future. The main thing I want to do is pretty much just make my dad, Robert, my favorite cousin, Jesse, and other family members proud of me because they’re always telling me that they want to see me succeed and make something of myself. Another one of my goals is to stop talking back, beingsuper stubborn, and having such an attitude all the time just because I don’t get what I want or I can’t do whatever I want to do when I want to do it. I’d also like to make it a habit of keeping my room clean and helping a little bit more around the house.

Now I’m going to tell you about my friends and social life. Well the only important goal I have that has to do with my friends is to just keep in touch with my friends from VHS. These cool kids are Andrea G, Tess W, Mallory M, Zak C, Conner S, Jack K, Hannah W, and there’s more but they’re not as important or close to me as these people. And then of course there are all the new friends I’ve made at FTHS. These absolutely awesome people are Matt C<3, Ciana I, Chaplin, Luke, Matt D, Jacob, and other people but I’m too lazy to type all their names.

Finally, I’m going to say a few things about my physical/health goals for these years I’m going to be alive. Well I don’t have too many goals for this but a couple of them are to stay in shape, exercise a lot more, stop being such a lazy couch potato, and stop eating tons and tons of junk food. I also want to get some muscle and have a four pack or a flat muscley stomach, which is why I’m going to the YMCA. So when I get fit and have some sort of muscle ill have Ms. Stevens to thank.
